Aston Martin DB5
Aston Martin DB5 is a classic British luxury GT sports car, which was born in 1963 and mass-produced to 1965. ? DB5 is the successor of DB4, maintaining the layout of GT sports car with two doors and four seats in front and rear drive. But the difference is that DB5 is more elegant and dynamic in appearance. The 4.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine can achieve a power output of 282 horsepower and a top speed of 230 kilometers per hour ... In addition, there are two manual/automatic gearboxes to match it: the 5-speed manual gearbox of ZF in Germany and the 3-speed automatic gearbox of Borgwarner in the United States.
As the most famous GT sports car in 1960s, the interior and equipment of DB5 are luxurious: the cockpit is wrapped with all leather interior, equipped with recliner seats, cashmere carpets, electric windows, double fuel tanks, chrome-plated steel wire wheels and so on. The highlight is that the body of DB5 adopts the magnesium alloy patented by super leggera, which makes the whole vehicle very light, only about 65,438+400 kg. Therefore, DB5, which combines the three advantages of elegance, luxury and sports, was selected by director 007 as James Bond's car in the film.
Gold finger replica edition
Aston Martin DB5' s fame is attributed to 1964 film "007: Goldfinger", which first appeared on the screen as a Bond car and was later known by people.

Subsequently, this car formed an indissoluble bond with James Bond, and appeared in the 007 series movies such as Empire of Tomorrow (1997), casino royale (2006), Breaking the Sky (20 12) and Too Late to Die (2020) respectively.
It can be said that the 007 series movies made DB5 popular all over the world.
